Well, contrary to what I thought in #193 (comment), it looks like JupyterLab is likely to have less or no impact on the notebook execution, since it is not in our requirements, and thus, not required to run the notebooks, and I now realize that the binder instance was already using it.

Anyways, we are more likely to get support I think.

Thanks for the transition @jhlegarreta! I just added some text to better introduce JupyterLab and Binder.

Also, I noticed during the lesson last Friday that the exercise/solutions package we're currently using only works with Jupyter Notebook. So we will also need to find an upgraded package to transition that as well.

😟 I did not look into that. Looks like a rabbit hole then. Any idea if there is a fix/upgrade/alternative to the exercise/solution package?

I previously tried out the Solutions extension but I had trouble installing it.

Another workaround might be with code folding

OK. You may want to open an issue to keep track of that.

In any case it looks like switching to JupyterLab is necessary to keep up with the Jupyter evolution.

I will merge once the CI becomes green.
